I checked with a nerdy geek and was told that it is a waste of
bandwidth to broadcast attachments to an entire mailing list.
Although not every attachment is a virus, NO ASCII text is.
Dr. Knodt's suggestion is entirely consistent with email etiquette.

Dr. Knodt,
Perhaps you should make an appointment with some nerdy geek in the IR
department who can explain to you how viruses get promulgated. It is usually
through executables (.exe) files or microsoft macros. Otherwise you will
continue to be needlessly worried about non-existent threats. :-)
